“It was so fun to see the look in the RDC employees' eyes when we showed up with all of the winter gear. They were surprised by how much we brought and so thankful to be able to help more refugee families by providing them coats, hats, and gloves during the winter months. It was a great feeling to know that more people could stay warm this year because of the RDC.”— Julia, Credit Union employee

Join us for ePIFanyNow and Pass It Forward

Members and the community are invited to join in passing it forward on Sunday, May 4, 2014, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., as part of the annual ePIFanyNow™ event hosted at MSUFCU Headquarters. It takes less than a second to make a positive difference in another persons’ life, yet the simplest act of kindness can change your and the recipient’s lives forever. Come on your own or team up with friends and family and bring your ideas to create a positive change in the community by participating in random acts of kindness.

The mission of ePIFanyNow™ is to gather a large group together to share the experience and effects of acts of kindness, and inspire others to pass that kindness forward. ePIFanyNow™ is a grassroots movement, with no religious or political affiliations, endeavoring to create positive change throughout our community and beyond.

Join us at the MSUFCU Headquarters for this free event as we share more than 100 ways to spread kindness. Participants will then be sent out into the community to make someone else’s day through a service project or by passing it forward, from purchasing a meal for someone who might be hungry, to sharing a smile with a stranger. After being out in the community, teams are invited back to Headquarters to enjoy light refreshments while they share inspirational stories with everyone of how they passed it forward.

“The easiest way to brighten your day is to brighten someone else’s, and gestures −no matter how small or large− can have a profound effect on both the giver and receiver,” says ePIFanyNow™ Founder, Bob Hoffman.

If you plan to attend ePIFanyNow™ share your ideas of how you will pass it forward, and live tweet highlights during the event on May 4, using #MSUFCUePIFanyNow.
